The six tentative layoff weeks in 2008 the CAW Local 444 learned about a few days ago depend entirely on U.S. vehicle sales, the union has been told.

Chrysler LLC doesn't talk about its work schedule further than a week out. But 444 president Ken Lewenza says his executive were told the two weeks scheduled in late January could be followed by additional weeks, one at a time, in February, March, April and May.

Nothing's carved in stone, and the sales situation could change at any time, throwing that projection off, Lewenza said.
